Your baby is literally a week old she isn't going to want to sleep in a cold crib after bieng in your warm belly, but swaddling does help a bit
Can you not co sleep? it’s the biological norm
I got my toddler a “big girl” bed and she loved it but she’s not in a room alone her bed is still right next to ours touching literally our bedroom is just beds lol ours hers and crib. And for you kid to understand he’s a big brother you have to put in the work read books is the number one thing that helped us reading big sister books helped mine and introducing a new baby to the family stuff like that and talking about it and including your kid
I put blankets under the sheets in the bassinet so that it functions a bit like a lounger, you could also try putting a t shirt that smells like you under the sheets. I warm the sheets too with my heating pad and use a white noise machine

Let’s see it ladies.
You’ve got to laugh or you’ll cry, let’s be honest 🤣

In the trenches 🫠
My baby is almost 4 months, she was always so happy and smiley but recently she SQUEALS!!! if she’s not squealing, she’s crying, no matter what we do.
When we pick her up, she wants to move every two seconds and stiffens up and screams at us to move her, in the car, play gym, in her swing chair.. it’s relentless!!!
Anybody else experienced this?? I’m worried (although I hope not!) that because I never let her “self soothe” and responded to every sound she’s made that I may have spoiled her like people said and I laughed at?

Who is in the same boat?
FTM to a 7 week old who has been incredibly chilled up to now bar problems with wind. From 6 weeks old he has been crying none stop and will only soothe with contact naps. I am unable to put him down and even on me he seems to wake up screaming crying for no apparent reason. He is absolutely fine at night but day times are a different story and he seems to go through a cry - feed - contact nap - cry- feed cycle until he goes down at night. I know this must be a phase but I am STRUGGLING. is anyone else going through the same thing?

My baby girl is 2 weeks old and hasn’t pooed for 2 days
My formula fed baby hasn’t been for a poo in 2 days. Is this normal? she seams like she is straining and her face goes red when she does strain 😫 I feel so bad for her as I feel like I’ve tried everything
